Default Behavior

In Windows 10 it is starting only if the user, an application or another service starts it. If ConsentUX fails to start, the failure details are being recorded into Event Log. Then Windows 10 will start up and notify the user that the ConsentUxUserSvc service has failed to start due to the error.

Dependencies

ConsentUX cannot be started under any conditions, if the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service is disabled.
